Dear Alexandria,

I see the removal of punishments dictated by separation of Voiced and Voiceless, the punishment of slavery and forced conscription and the beginnings of reform in Jurisprudence to allow some leeway in the place of the Cinquefoil Rose and the legal management of their own establishment, that are all welcome changes from Dante Moretti's proposals.

The only detail I would alter is the stripping of Voices, and let it be known that Exile shall mean the very same thing. To be Exiled from one's City, should in turn mean the removal of their privilege's and membership in our city's Assembly.

I will nearly be finished my own proposal soon and will leave it by your office once ready.

Truth through action!

Best regards,

Edmund
